Product Origins

Lisa’s favourite quote is “There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing.”

As an active mom based on Canada’s wet and rugged West Coast, Lisa discovered that finding warm footwear for her young kids was near impossible. With her five-month old son in a backpack, Lisa resorted to wrapping scarves around her son’s legs to keep him warm. When she met another mom who had 6 years earlier made a boot that looked a lot like a fleece-lined chalk bag for her child, Lisa instantly knew these booties could fill a need in the market. Together, they created some booties samples - made with a fleece lined inner and a coated nylon exterior. The booties were designed with stylish appliqués, soft soles for a custom fit, and toggles at both the calf and ankle so that they stayed on.

After five years in business, Lisa and the Stonz team introduced Stonz Linerz, Mittz and Hatz. They are constantly delighted to hear from parents and grandparents from all over who are enjoying the booties as well as the new gear – just as Stonz intended.

Miscellaneous

How are the booties worn?

They can be worn as primary footwear (with just bare feet) or as a shell (worn with something else inside them like a sock/slipper/leather shoe). The booties are fleece-lined inside and coated nylon outside, making them wind and rain resistant. If the booties are going to be worn in very cold weather, we suggest adequate layering inside the booties. For example, you may choose to layer up with our Stonz Linerz, sheepskins slippers, or leather slippers for extra warmth.

The key with the booties is assessing the weather you're about to be in and then layering up inside the booties accordingly. Parents and caregivers are the best judge of the weather outside and the protection required for their children. The booties are meant for all seasons; designed for flexibility in almost every outdoor weather condition.

Do Stonz booties have a temperature rating?

Stonz booties can be layered up inside, with as many layers that will fit, for extreme warmth.  Stonz also sells sherpa-fleece Linerz for additional warmth. Conversely, the booties can be worn in temperate weather conditions with as little as bare feet or socks.  We feel that ultimately a parent or caregiver is the best judge of what layers are suitable under the booties depending on the weather conditions outdoors.

Are Stonz booties suitable for walking - given that they are soft-soled?

Soft soled shoes have been recommended by experts for years for developing feet.  Little feet are able to flex and grip allowing them to balance and stand with the additional room inside their footwear.  Stonz booties feature an outer sole with a rubbery material and the inside is layered with fleece. Depending on the conditions, additional layers (socks, Stonz Linerz, or light-weight shoes) can be added inside the booties.  These layers provide considerable protection between the child’s foot and the ground, while allowing the child to walk freely given the light-weight, soft-soled design of the booties.

Are Stonz Booties waterproof?

Stonz booties are made of coated nylon fabric making them rain repellent and wind resistant. The booties' soles are made of a waterproof rubberized fabric, the same fabric on the palm and thumb of our new Mittz (size Large and XL only), making the booties suitable for outdoor use. When the child is being carried, rain and wind will keep out of the booties.  When spending time puddle jumping, playing in water and slush, it may take awhile but eventually water will make its way in. We suggest throwing the booties in the dryer for 5-10 minutes on gentle. And you're ready to head out again!

Does the customer have to buy a larger size boot to accommodate the liner?

The sizing is made to equal the size of the boot so if the child’s foot fits snuggly, you may want to try a size up with a liner. If the boot was large for the child, the linerz inside will lessen the gap between the foot and the boot size.

Will the liner make the boots too tight for my child to wear?

Is there a left and a right or are they generic in shape?

Yes - there is a left and a right. The Stonz label will be on the outside of each right and left leg.

Where are Stonz products made?

Stonz booties are made by hand, locally in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
